Obama Made Mexican Maids Cry in College

The Democrat Media Complex (DMC), desperate to divert attention from
Obama’s weak economy, has spent the last week obsessing over GOP
presidential nominee-to-be Mitt Romney’s high school days.

Like other recent Democrat efforts at distraction – Sandra Fluke’s
inability to get her male partner to kick in for the $9/month birth
control; Mitt Romney’s dog -- the 5,400 words from the Washington Post on Romney’s high school pranks almost 50 years ago have backfired miserably. Turns out Romney was a typical teen, and the Post really is a joke. But the DMC’s pimping of Haircutgate has also prompted conservatives to reread Obama’s first memoir, Dreams from My Father, with an eye for vetting him as thoroughly as the amateur historians at the Post.
Romney’s mid-1960s high school years are in play? How about Obama’s
college years? How about the time Barack Obama so destroyed his college
dormitory that it brought his Latino maids to tears! What—you have never
heard that reported by the DMC?
Let’s go to Obama’s Dreams (p. 109, paperback copyright
2004), when he is recounting a college party his sophomore year at
Occidental College. Friends Reggie and Regina are also at the party, and
Reggie proceeds to tell Regina about a wild weekend from Obama’s
freshman year, around 1980:

Just as she was finishing, Reggie wandered out of the kitchen, drunker
than I was. He came over and threw his arm around my shoulder. “Obama!
Great party, man!” He threw Regina a sloppy grin. “Let me tell you,
Regina, Obama and me go way back. Should have seen our parties last
year, back at the dorms. Man, you remember that time we stayed up the
whole weekend? Forty hours, no sleep. Started Saturday morning and
didn’t stop till [sic] Monday.”

I tried to change the subject, but Reggie was on a roll. “I’m telling
you, Regina, it was wild. When the maids show up Monday morning, we were
all still sitting in the hallway, looking like zombies. Bottles
everywhere. Cigarette butts. Newspapers. That spot where Jimmy threw up .
. .” Reggie turned to me and started to laugh, spilling more beer on
the rug. “You remember, don’t you, man? Shit was so bad, those little
old Mexican ladies started to cry. ‘Dios Mio,’ one of ‘em says, and the
other one starts patting her on the back. Oh shit, we were crazy….”

Dios Mio indeed. Obama, in college, completely trashed his California
dorm room and left it for “Mexican” women to clean. It was so beyond the
pale, including vomit, it brought the hard-working women, who had no
doubt seen messes every day, to tears—in Barack Obama’s presence—but he
did nothing and let the immigrant women clean up his vandalism and
destruction.

Hmm. Perhaps the Fourth Estate should report that (and if I were the
RNC, I’d do some Spanish-language direct mail on it). Since we are
always told it is laziness, not liberal bias, that keeps the DMC from
this kind of investigation, here are a few ready-made questions for them
to ask Obama about the incident:
1. Have you ever sought out the Mexican maids to apologize?
2. Will you apologize today?
3. When you had your personal maids in Chicago “come in and clean the house once a week,” as you put it in The Audacity of Hope (pages 341-42, copyright 2006), did you treat those maids as you did the ones in California?
4. Were your Chicago maids also Mexicans?
5. Mr. President, what is worse, cutting a kid’s hair in high school or abusing Latino women in college?
Now let’s be clear. The cries of 88 million adults
not in the anemic labor market are better reasons to send Obama packing
in November than his mistreatment of and indifference to Latina women
when he was 20, as deplorable as it was. But if they want to talk
Romney’s haircut, let’s talk Obama’s Mexican maids. Makes you wonder how
he’ll trash the White House on the night of January 19th, 2013.

The Vetting - Exclusive - Obama's Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: 'Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii'

Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther,"
and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of
"Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack
Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.

Yet Andrew also believed that the
complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama's
ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers
had constructed for him.

It is for that reason that we launched
"The Vetting," an ongoing series in which we explore the ideological
background of President Obama (and other presidential candidates)--not
to re-litigate 2008, but because ideas and actions have consequences.

It is also in that spirit that we discovered, and now present,
the booklet described below--one that includes a marketing pitch for a
forthcoming book by a then-young, otherwise unknown former president of
the Harvard Law Review. It is evidence--not of the President's foreign origin, but that
Barack Obama's public persona has perhaps been presented differently at
different times.

***

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by
Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts
Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the
publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the
biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton &
Dystel.
It also promotes Obama's anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White--which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead.
Obama’s biography in the booklet is as follows (image and text below):

Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the
Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and
Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance
minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial
journalist and editor for Business International Corporation. He
served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest
Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing
Communities Project in Chicago’s South Side. His commitment to social
and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White.

The booklet, which is thirty-six pages long, is printed in blue ink
(and, on the cover, silver/grey ink), using offset lithography. It
purports to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Acton & Dystel,
which was founded in 1976.

Jay Acton no longer represents Obama. However, Jane Dystel still lists Obama as a client on her agency's website.
According to the booklet itself, the text was edited by Miriam Goderich, who has since become Dystel's partner at Dystel & Goderich,
an agency founded in 1994. Breitbart News attempted to reach Goderich
by telephone several times over several days. Her calls are screened by
an automated service that requires callers to state their name and
company, which we did. She never answered.
The design of the booklet was undertaken by Richard Bellsey, who has
since closed his business. Bellsey, reached by telephone, could not
recall the exact details of the booklet, but told Breitbart News that it
"sounds like one of our jobs, like I did for [Acton & Dystel]
twenty years ago or more."

The parade of authors alongside Obama in the booklet includes
politicians, such as former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill; sports
legends, such as Joe Montana and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; and numerous
Hollywood celebrities.
The reverse side of the page that features Barack Obama includes
former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader and early-1990s
"boy band" pop sensation New Kids On the Block.

Acton, who spoke to Breitbart News by telephone, confirmed precise
details of the booklet and said that it cost the agency tens of
thousands of dollars to produce.
He indicated that while "almost nobody" wrote his or her own
biography, the non-athletes in the booklet, whom "the agents deal[t]
with on a daily basis," were "probably" approached to approve the text
as presented.
Dystel did not respond to numerous requests for comment, via email
and telephone. Her assistant told Breitbart News that Dystel "does not
answer questions about Obama."
The errant Obama biography in the Acton & Dystel booklet does not
contradict the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate. Moreover,
several contemporaneous accounts of Obama’s background describe Obama as having been born in Hawaii.
The biography does, however, fit a pattern in which Obama--or the
people representing and supporting him--manipulate his public persona.
David Maraniss's forthcoming biography of Obama has reportedly confirmed, for example, that a girlfriend Obama described in Dreams from My Father was, in fact, an amalgam of several separate individuals.
In addition, Obama and his handlers have a history of redefining his
identity when expedient. In March 2008, for example, he famously declared:
"I can no more disown [Jeremiah Wright] than I can disown the black
community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother."
Several weeks later, Obama left Wright's church--and, according to Edward Klein's new biography, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, allegedly attempted to persuade Wright not to "do any more public speaking until after the November [2008] election" (51).Obama has been known frequently to
fictionalize aspects of his own life. During his 2008 campaign, for
instance, Obama claimed that his dying mother had fought with insurance
companies over coverage for her cancer treatments. That turned out to be untrue, but Obama has repeated the story--which even the Washington Post called "misleading"--in a campaign video for the 2012 election.The Acton & Dystel biography
could also reflect how Obama was seen by his associates, or transitions
in his own identity. He is said, for instance, to have cultivated an "international" identity until well into his adulthood, according to Maraniss.

Regardless of the reason for
Obama's odd biography, the Acton & Dystel booklet raises new
questions as part of ongoing efforts to understand Barack Obama--who,
despite four years in office remains a mystery to many Americans, thanks
to the mainstream media.
